A couple of month ago when Josh Jarboe was charged with a felony of having a concealed weapon on his high school campus, you had to figure his days as an University of Oklahoma football player were never going to happen. That may be changing.

     Jarboe was one of the biggest catches in Bob Stoops’ recent recruiting class. He was recruited by many of the big boys of college football. This Ellenwood, Ga. native is a big receiver with blazing speed. He was a player that the OU coaches thought could come in and contribuite immediately.

     That was until he got into trouble.

    “He’s a gifted receiver. He’s big and fast. But he has to work some things out,” said Sooner receiver coach Jay Norvell.

     Yeah, the things that he has to work out is getting that felony charge dropped. Jarboe claims it wasn’t his gun that was in the car at the high school. He says he didn’t know it was there.

     Well, there are many that are saying now that the charges will be dropped, maybe sometime by mid-June. If that does happen it appears he will make it to Norman this summer.

     But this gifted 6-3, 195-pounder still has some academic hurdles to clear. He was suspended from high school, but is currently finishing up his classes on the internet. He is one point shy of qualifying on his ACT score.

     If Jarboe does get to Oklahoma, he will be a great asset for the Sooners. He might be able to take up some of the slack for Malcolm Kelly’s departure. He has a lot of potenial. The key now is for him to steer anyway from any type of trouble.
